Crocs are where it's at.

I haven’t worn boots since I last left a shunt. Steel toed sneakers for me now.

Depending on what part of the nation you drive, is suggest staying away from steel toe, unless it's an absolute requirement. I'm in Minnesota often, and we do runs up to Alaska once a quarter. Last thing you want is a steel toe or aluminum toe assisting in ffrostbite setting in.
Go with a good composite toe with an antipuncture sole. I like my Redwings, but that $279 price tag was hard to handle.

Check out Boot Barn. Lots of styles, including steel/composite toe. Good prices and frequent sales. Plus the rewards program helps too. They have stores all over and they ship too. Be safe and I hope you have a pleasant holiday season!

Boot Barn. Buy mine online have them shipped to my local store. No shipping fees.

Try to find a Red Wing store. Not cheap, but well built. Added bonus is that when you wear them out they will refurbish them, and free shoelaces for life.

I order my boots from here.
Takes a little bit longer but it’s less expensive.

What part of the country are you trying to buy boots in? I'm a big fan of Timberland boots. Been wearing them for a few years now. I always get something from their Pro line. Very comfortable and they last a while doing trucking. I usually buy mine at a place called National Workwear. From a quick Google search though, it seems they are aren't national at all. Just in my home state of KY.

Thorogood boots. They last quite a while. Expensive but if it's something you're gonna be wearing constantly they're worth it. Plus, They're made in the good ole' U S of A.

Garmonts are the boot to get. They are comfortable durable.

Amazon. However, if you need to have hands on experience before buying try Boot Barn or any agriculture store. As far as boot choice I've had great success with Keen, Danner, and Thorogood.

I always got mine from a local outlet store. Just be mindful that no matter how expensive your boots are, they'll only last as long as you're willing to take care of them

They're pricey but the Timberland Pros are definitely worth it. There's a store called Mark's here in Canada that has 30% off the whole store from time to time. Good time to snag some work stuff. I've been wearing mine for 1.5 years now and I'm up for a new pair but I do local work so they see a lot of wear. I do around 10,000 steps a day, kick a lot of chocks, snow, salt, etc.

Bates boots are the best. Comfortable from the moment you put them on. Laces up front, but zipper on side so you can get them on/off easily. Academy sells them. Don't buy the knock offs next to them, get the Bates. You can also order them from their website. And yeah, I wear them year around. With shorts even. Super comfy.

My company has a shoe voucher with Red Wing. I'm hauling coils, so required to wear met guard.
King Toe is the model I'm in. They're fucking great. During a 10, I had to jog about a mile to get to a store before it closed. Of course they're a bit heavy, but a mile jog and they were comfy as hell.

Blundstone safety boots easy to slip on and off getting in and out of the truck and very comfortable if you’re on your feet all day

Sorry, I just wear shower slippers or, in a pinch, those paper shoes like they have at the hospital.
